Instrument thicknesses have regularly gone through fads since the 1970's. Right now, we're on the back side of a "thick" fad. I doubt that any scientifically observable facts can be stated about thickness differences, due to all other variables working at the same time.

Not all old instruments were thin. In particular an old pre-war manufacturer called Sandner made some tubas that were thicker than any manufactured today.
